Gathering events, eg, going to gyms and meetings, are ubiquitous and crucial in the
spreading phenomena, which induce higher-order interactions, and thus can be described …

In recent years the research community has accumulated overwhelming evidence for the
emergence of complex and heterogeneous connectivity patterns in a wide range of …

Abstract Models of epidemic spreading on complex networks have attracted great attention
among researchers in physics, mathematics, and epidemiology due to their success in …

Many real networks exhibit a layered structure in which links in each layer reflect the function
of nodes on different environments. These multiple types of links are usually represented by …

The phenomenon of radicalization is investigated within a mixed population composed of
core and sensitive subpopulations. The latest includes first to third generation immigrants …

Abstract The Susceptible-Infected-Recovered (SIR) model has successfully mimicked the
propagation of such airborne diseases as influenza A (H1N1). Although the SIR model has …

We study the critical effect of an intermittent social distancing strategy on the propagation of
epidemics in adaptive complex networks. We characterize the effect of our strategy in the …

Researchers have developed several theoretical methods for predicting epidemic
thresholds, including the mean-field like (MFL) method, the quenched mean-field (QMF) …

In the past few decades, the frequency of pandemics has been increased due to the growth
of urbanization and mobility among countries. Since a disease spreading in one country …

In this work we propose and investigate a strategy of vaccination which we call “dynamic
vaccination.” In our model, susceptible people become aware that one or more of their …
